🔉We just released EmphAssess, a benchmark for evaluating emphasis in speech to speech models.

This work is a product of my internship at @MetaAI, and we’d gladly appreciate any feedback !

Hi network, trying my luck here! 🍀

I'm starting to look into post-PhD opportunities. If you know of any companies who could be interested in my profile (among others : speech modelling, SSL, evaluations, cognition), please drop their name! Or better yet, send them my profile 🙌

[Robin Algayres @AlgayresR]

Accepted paper at Findings at #EMNLP2023 (with @itspablit0) on unsupervised speech segmentation into words. Our simple teacher-student method leverages XLS-R and improves over the latest SOTA by 130% on average over five different languages.

[Robin Algayres @AlgayresR]

We have a second accepted paper at #EMNLP2023 (with @adiyossLC) on Generative Spoken Language Modelling (textless NLP). We managed to generate clean speech sentences using continuous units instead of the discrete HuBERT.

[ Seminar 🗣️] This afternoon Sharon Goldwater gave a wonderful talk on Analyzing representations of self-supervised speech models and also perspective as a cognitive scientist on the possible connections with the study of humans' learning and representation of speech!

[CoML (Cognitive Machine Learning) | @ENS @CoML_ENS]

And Karen Livescu gave a great talk on What Do Self Supervised Speech Representation Models Know? A Layer-Wise Analysis this Monday.

[CoML (Cognitive Machine Learning) | @ENS @CoML_ENS]

We are thrilled to welcome @HermanKamper, Karen Livescu and Sharon Goldwater to visit our Team!

[🗣️Seminar] This Monday @HermanKamper gave wonderful talk on Multimodal few-shot learning & probing self-supervised speech model.

[CoML (Cognitive Machine Learning) | @ENS @CoML_ENS]

@tallinzen returns to CoML after 6 years !🌟 His insightful talk on surprisal and syntactic disambiguation sheds light on the intriguing gap between humans and language models! Exciting research direction at the frontier between psycholinguistics 👶 and neural networks 🤖 !

[Maureen de Seyssel @Maureendss]

Thrilled to announce our new paper with @LavechinMarvin & Emmanuel Dupoux, where we present our perspective on what it takes to build effective learning language simulations, now in Journal of Child Language! #psycholinguistics #computationalmodelling

💬 Wanna evaluate prosody in SSL speech models? Look no more!
The Zero-Resource Speech Challenge now includes a prosodic benchmark 🔎

⬇️

[Maureen de Seyssel @Maureendss]

📢 Exciting news! We just released ProsAudit, a prosodic benchmark for SSL models of speech 🥳

💬 It is now part of the Zero Resource Speech Challenge (track 4). The paper also includes results on a human comparison. 👨‍💻🤖

@Maureendss @n0mad_0 It might be of interest to you?

[William N. Havard @WilliamNHavard]

*Announcement!*
I'm actively looking for a postdoctoral position (anywhere in the world) starting in 2023 on speech and language processing for low-resourced languages (preferably endangered language documentation and description or automatic inference of typological features)!

[CoML (Cognitive Machine Learning) | @ENS @CoML_ENS]

🚨 The STELA project, which a part of our team has been long working on, is finally presented in a preprint. Check it out!
